Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to devices which treat stenoses in blood vessels. More particularly, the present invention relates to angioplasty devices. The present invention particularly, though not exclusively, relates to an angioplasty device which enhances dilatation of a vessel wall across a stenotic section by incising the stenosis to relieve stress in the vessel during dilatation.
- Blockage of human arteries is a widespread malady and, as such, represents a significant health concern. Blockages reducing blood flow through the coronary arteries to the heart can cause heart attacks, while blockages reducing blood flow through the arteries to the brain can cause strokes. Similarly, arterial blockages reducing blood flow through arteries to other parts of the body can produce grave consequences in an affected organ or limb.
- angioplasty which uses an inflatable device positioned at the stenosis to dilate the artery.
- a typical angioplasty device is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,896,669 to Bhate et al.
- the device of Bhate et al is typical and, like other angioplasty devices, includes an inflatable balloon which is attached to the distal end of a hollow catheter. The proximal end of the catheter is attached to a fluid source.
- the balloon is introduced into the artery in a deflated state and guided through the artery over a guide wire to a position adjacent the stenosis. Fluid from the fluid source is then infused into the balloon via the catheter to inflate the balloon. As the balloon expands, it presses against the arterial wall in the region of the stenosis, dilating the artery at the stenosis and restoring it to a sufficient size for adequate blood flow. The balloon is then deflated and removed from the artery, thereby completing the treatment.
- angioplasty devices While effective for dilating blood vessels, angioplasty devices simultaneously traumatize the tissue of the vessel wall. The dilatation procedure can sometimes excessively stress the tissue of the wall, even to the point of tearing it. Dire consequences to the patient such as an acute occlusion or a thrombosis can result. To address this shortcoming, angioplasty devices have been developed which employ a cutting element in cooperation with the balloon to reduce stress on the tissue of the vessel wall.
- an angioplasty device which employs a cutting element, however, is that the cutting element can be exposed to surrounding healthy tissue during placement of the device in the blood vessel of a patient, even when the balloon is deflated. As a result, the sharpened cutting element can inadvertently damage healthy tissue with which it comes in contact. Accordingly, the present invention recognizes a need to provide an angioplasty device which effectively employs a cutting element in cooperation with a balloon during a procedure for dilatation of a stenosis, yet protects healthy tissue from damage during placement of the device in a blood vessel to be treated.
- a balloon catheter for enhancing dilatation of a vessel wall across a stenotic segment by incising the stenosis to relieve stress in the vessel during dilatation by the balloon.
- a device comprises a balloon, a plurality of atherotomes mounted on the outer surface of the balloon, and a catheter in fluid communication with the balloon.
- An atherotome for purposes of the present invention, is taken to be a metallic cutting structure embedded in a polyurethane substrate.
- each atherotome mounted on the outer surface of the deflated balloon is aligned along the longitudinal axis of the catheter and is circumferentially equidistant from each adjacent atherotome.
- each atherotome is attached to the balloon along a crease in the balloon that is longitudinal to the axis of the catheter.
- the cutting structure of each atherotome projects radially outward from the axis of the catheter. Retraction of the atherotomes toward the longitudinal axis of the catheter during deflation of the balloon forms a flap in the balloon between adjacent atherotomes.
- Each flap has a folded edge that is generally parallel to the axes of each atherotome and the catheter.
- the folded edges and flaps rather than the cutting structure of the atherotomes, contact the vessel wall as the device is manipulated into position adjacent a stenotic site, thus shielding the unoccluded vessel walls from contact with the cutting edges of the atherotomes.
- the balloon is inflated.
- the atherotomes aligned on the outer surface of the balloon are urged into contact with the plaque creating the stenosis.
- the stenosis is incised by the cutting structure of the atherotomes. The incisions relieve stress in the wall of the vessel and enhance dilation of the vessel. It will be appreciated that the balloon may be guided to the stenotic segment through a protective sheath to further minimize the possibility of damage to the vessel wall. At the stenosis, the balloon can then be extended from the sheath and positioned across the stenosis.
- the balloon After dilatation of the vessel, the balloon is deflated. Deflation of the balloon causes the balloon to collapse at the creases and have the atherotomes resume their retracted positions along the creases. Again, during withdrawal of the device from the vessel, the flaps and folded edges of the flaps will shield the wall of the vessel from the cutting structure of the atherotomes.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention showing the atherotomes mounted on the inflated balloon.
- FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 2C are perspective views of the components of an atherotome shown before attachment to the outer surface of the balloon.
- FIG. 3A is a cross-sectional view of the stenotic dilatation device of the present invention as seen along line 3--3 in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view of the stenotic dilatation device of the present invention as shown in FIG. 3A, but showing the balloon deflated.
- FIG. 4A is a schematic cross-sectional view of the deflated device of the present invention as seen along line 4--4 in FIG. 1 within its intended operational environment.
- FIG. 4B is a schematic cross-sectional view of the inflated device of the present invention as seen along line 4--4 in FIG. 1 within its intended operational environment.
- FIG. 5 is a section view of an alternate embodiment of the present invention, incorporating a dual lumen catheter.
- Device 10 includes a balloon 12 positioned near the distal end 13 of a hollow catheter 14.
- Catheter 14 has an extended length and is connected at its proximal end to a conventional apparatus (not shown) which has a plurality of ports formed therein.
- a conventional apparatus not shown
- the use of various apparatus are well known to those skilled in the art for a variety of functions including placement of a guide wire in a catheter during positioning of a balloon assembly in a blood vessel, pressurized infusion of fluids into a balloon assembly using a catheter, or withdrawal of fluids or other materials from a balloon assembly through a catheter under vacuum during operation of an angioplasty device.
- FIG. 1 also shows that inflated balloon 12 is substantially cylindrical between a distal annulus 16a of the outer surface 18 of balloon 12 and a proximal annulus 16b of outer surface 18 of balloon 12.
- end 22a of balloon 12 is inwardly tapered from distal annulus 16a toward catheter 14.
- end 22b of balloon 12 is inwardly tapered from proximal annulus 16b toward the catheter 14.
- tapered ends 22a, 22b are formed with an aperture 24a, 24b accessing the interior of balloon 12 and are substantially coaxial with the longitudinal axis of catheter 14.
- catheter 14 enters balloon 12 through proximal aperture 24a and exits balloon 12 through distal aperture 24b. Accordingly, catheter 14 coaxially extends through balloon 12 and sealingly engages the inner surface 20 of balloon 12 (as shown in FIG. 3A) at apertures 24a, 24b to prevent fluid communication between the interior of balloon 12 and apertures 24a, 24b. Sealing engagement is provided by adhesive bonding, thermal bonding, or any means well known in the art.
- FIG. 1 also shows that extending from distal end 13 of catheter 14 is a flexible tip 26 which is made by forming a continuous helical slit along the tip 26 from distal point 26a of tip 26 to proximal point 26b of tip 26.
- FIG. 1 further shows balloon 12 includes a plurality of substantially identical atherotomes 28a, 28b, 28c mounted on outer surface 18 of balloon 12 aligned along the longitudinal axis of catheter 14 and circumferentially equidistant from each adjacent atherotome. (Only atherotomes 28a, 28b are visible in the view of FIG. 1.) Further, although only these atherotomes are shown for device 10 in FIG. 1 it will be appreciated that additional atherotomes 28 can be employed.
- FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 2C are perspective views of components and embodiments of the atherotomes 28.
- an atherotome 28 for the present invention can be a metallic cutting structure 30 embedded in a substrate 32 of resinous material such as polyurethane.
- the cutting structure has a cutting edge 31.
- FIG. 2B shows the preferred embodiment of cutting structure 30 prior to being embedded into substrate 32.
- the structure 30 has a cutting edge 31, step extensions 33a and 33b and, for purposes of the preferred embodiment, a plurality of semi-circular grooves 35a,b, and c forward into the base 37.
- grooves 35a,b,c which are each perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of structure 30 for enhanced flexibility of the structure 30.
- structure 30 will be embedded into polyurethane substrate 32 (see FIG. 2A) to cover the structure 30 from hash-marked line 39.
- FIG. 2C shows an alternate embodiment of a cutter device 34 which is also embeddable in a polyurethane substrate 32.
- the cutter device 34 has a base 41 formed with a cutter edge 43, and integral step extensions 45a and 45b.
- the atherotomes 28a, 28b, 28c will be as shown in FIG. 2A.
- Atherotome 28 may, however, be of an embodiment as shown in FIG. 2B or 2C. Either way they are attached by an adhesive to outer surface 18 of balloon 12 along the longitudinal axis of catheter 14 and circumferentially equidistant from each adjacent atherotome.
- FIG. 3A a cross-sectional view of device 10 along line 3--3 in FIG. 1, balloon 12 is shown in an inflated configuration.
- the thicknesses of balloon 12 between outer surface 18 and inner surface 20 is exaggerated for purposes of illustration.
- Atherotomes 28a, 28b, 28c are shown attached to balloon 12 and substantially equidistant from each adjacent atherotome. Further, they are aligned along the longitudinal axis of catheter 14.
- the present embodiment of device 10 shows three atherotomes, but four or more atherotomes may be attached to balloon 12 in accordance with the present teaching.
- FIGS. 3A and 3B show catheter 14 extending coaxially through balloon 12.
- Catheter 14 is shown as a single lumen catheter, although multiple lumen catheters, as are well known in the art, may be employed in device 10.
- One or more ports 36a, 36b in the wall of catheter 14 are shown positioned within the interior of balloon 12 to enable the infusion or withdrawal of fluid from balloon 12 through catheter 14.
- FIG. 3B a cross-sectional view of device 10 along line 3--3 in FIG. 1, balloon 12 of stenotic dilatation device is shown in a deflated configuration prior to insertion into a blood vessel. Balloon 12 will also assume this configuration after incisions are made in a stenosis and preparatory to removal of device 10 from the vessel. As shown in FIG.
- each atherotome 28 mounted on outer surface 18 of balloon 12 is still aligned along the longitudinal axis of catheter 14 and is circumferentially equidistant from each adjacent atherotome 28.
- outer surface 18 of balloon 12 is reconfigured and a plurality of creases 38a, 38b, 38c are formed on outer surface 18 of balloon 12, which result in a plurality of concave sides 40a, 40b, 40c.
- flaps 42a, 42b, 42c which are actually folds in the surface of the balloon 12 between creases 38a, 38b, 38c respectively.
- each pair of the flaps 42a, 42b, 42c, in balloon 12 straddle one of the atherotomes 28a, 28b, 28c.
- Flaps 42a, 42b, 42c are shown to extend substantially the entire length of balloon 12 between distal annulus 16a and proximal annulus 16b, to shield the lumen of an artery from contact with cutting edges 32 of the atherotomes 28.
- dual lumen catheter 50 incorporates a dual lumen catheter which is shown and generally designated 50.
- dual lumen catheter 50 includes an inner catheter 52 which is coaxially aligned inside an outer catheter 54.
- inner catheter 52 has a central lumen 56 which extends the length of dual lumen catheter 50 for receiving a guide wire therethrough.
- the outer diameter of inner catheter 52 is sufficiently shorter than the inner diameter of outer catheter 52 to establish a fluid lumen 58 between the coaxial catheters 52 and 54. This fluid lumen 58 terminates at a port 60 which is located inside balloon 12.
- proximal tapered end 22b of balloon 12 is attached to the outer surface of outer catheter 54, and that the distal tapered end 22a of balloon 12 is attached to the outer surface of inner catheter 52. Consequently, with a fluid tight seal between distal tapered end 22a and catheter 52 there can only be fluid communication with balloon 12 through fluid lumen 58.
- FIGS. 4A and 4B In the operation of stenotic dilatation device 10, reference is made to FIGS. 4A and 4B. Initially, balloon 12 is deflated while positioned at the stenosis 44 within artery 46 as shown in FIG. 4A. Positioning of device 10 is performed in accordance with well-known surgical techniques and may employ a guide wire (not shown) threaded through catheter 14 as discussed above in conjunction with FIG. 5.
- stenotic dilatation device 10 is in place at stenosis 44, it is inflated as shown in FIG. 4B by infusion of fluids from a fluid source (not shown) into balloon 12 through catheter 14 and ports 36a, 36b. Inflation of balloon 12 causes cutting edge 31 in each atherotome 28a, 28b, 28c to incise stenosis 44. This relieves some stress on the wall of artery 46 while dilating stenosis 44.
- the incisions made in stenosis 44 correspond in length to the length of atherotomes 28a, 28b, 28c and are predetermined to be shallower than the wall of artery 46 so as not to penetrate through artery 46.
- balloon 12 incises and dilates stenosis 44, it is deflated by withdrawing fluid from balloon 12 under vacuum through catheter 14 and ports 36a, 36b. Stenotic dilatation device 10 is then removed from artery 46.
